Alphonse Legros (1837 -1911) - Estudo de uma cabeça masculina

Alphonse Legros , é um pintor, gravador, escultor e medalhista francês naturalizado britânico. Praticamente desconhecido na França de hoje, ele foi, no entanto, bastante famoso durante sua vida, especialmente entre os pintores franceses por seu perfeccionismo e seu academicismo intransigente. Incentivado por Whistler mudou-se para Londres em 1863 onde obteve pela primeira vez o cargo de professor de gravura na South Kensington School of Art antes de ser chamado para a University College London onde de 1876 a 1892 foi um mestre dedicado ao ensino e seus alunos, aprofundando o estudo de artistas antigos como Holbein, Rubens ou os designers italianos do Renascimento. De facto, a sua influência nos designers britânicos do final do século é importante e duradoura, participa no renovado interesse da época pela gravura. Em 1880 foi membro fundador da Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers. Sem ser perfeitamente anglófono, mas reconhecido pelo establishment, obteve a nacionalidade britânica em 1881 e continuou a sua criação em Inglaterra, especialmente no domínio da gravura (gravuras e medalhões), sem contudo abandonar as suas ligações com França: em 1862, ele foi membro fundador da Society of Etchers co-fundada por Alfred Cadart em Paris, com quem manteve contato.
